Lovelies, Lovelies, Lovelies…

….Now when I was in Chelmsford on Saturday, selling to the local people. I had rather a lot of purchases of dress material, along with our new fabric by the metre for…guess what… DRESSES!

As you know we stock Anna Maria Horner material (a lot of the designs in the above dress in fact), she has a wonderful blog here. I like to keep in touch with my designers so this morning I was happily reading through Anna’s blog and I came across this stunning dress in fabrics available at Lucy Loves Fabric.

I think I may have to get sewing… what do you think?? Do you like it?

I love the chevron shapes in the skirt.

More information on Kate and her set design check out her page on the Grand Designs website here.

Kate has asked Lucy Loves Fabric to supply the fabric for her set, I am truly honoured to have been asked to work with Kate on this. Actually I’m totally chuffed. : ))

Wood and Wool 1

Well what a busy week… with the new Studio project well underway and all the additional jobs that follow it, I feel exhausted.

I have got muddy. I have lifted REALLY heavy things. I have grafted with the boys AND I went to B&Q on my own…which anyone who knows me was a real achievement. ;-)

Now I’m just having a quick cup of tea whilst the Beau goes to get more supplies as we didn’t buy enough, I thought I would pop in and say hello to all you lovely people out there!


How are you?? Have you had good weeks?? And what are you up to this weekend?

It’s supposed to be a hot one in London, and so far the forecast has been correct! I’m loving working in a vest top, I just wish I was the type to tan rather than burn. Hmm.

Despite all of the work going on in the garden it’s actually looking really pretty, very colourful with all the Daff’s and Tulips. I also have some pots of Primroses. Lovely.

I’m really enjoying the knitted hearts shown above by Wood and Stool, I feel these would look pretty in my new studio, maybe hanging either side of the door. Welcoming huh? :)

I managed to fit in fabulous trip to the Quilt exhibition at the V&A this week. I LOVED it, I cannot express how much. I’ll fill you in more next week when I’m less muddy and have more time… : ) so watch this space. Have any of you been yet? Did you love it too?

Have a lovely weekend my lovelies, I’m being called to deal with more sand. ‘It’ll be worth it’ I keep chanting.

Love you all.

Thank you..

Doesn’t this bed look beautiful? I am in love with the bed cover. You could create a similar one with our Amy Butler fabric…

YES I’ve finally seen it!!!! I loved it, as you probably have guessed. It’s magical like I hoped, but it DID lack the amount of eccentricity that I hoped for and expected. It was eccentric, totally – don’t get me wrong. The characters with their costumes and make up were amazing. I just expected…..more some how.

The 3D’ness gave me wobbly legs afterwards and on the drive home I half expected the flower by the side of my steering wheel in my little VW Beetle to talk to me. Needless to say…it didn’t. I found myself disappointed ;-)

I love being transformed out of reality.
